The Hindu
The three-year project begins next week to capture 10 Fishing Cats for collaring to study the species behaviour and threats.
The Wildlife Institute of India (WII-Dehradun) Conservation Biologists will begin collaring ten Fishing Cats (Prionailurus viverrinus) in the Coringa Wildlife Sanctuary (CWS) in Andhra Pradesh next week.
The country’s first Fishing Cat collaring project is led by Conservation Biologist Dr. Bilal Habib, WII-Dehradun. In Asia, a similar project was done earlier in Bangladesh.
The project was supposed to be launched last year but was delayed due to the spread of COVID-19.
